Fig. 12'is a partial en d eleyaiion and projected partial plan-to indicate the manner in which the cylindrical record may without obstruction be removed from or replaced on the rotatable support comprised in the phonographic machine therefor. Fig. 13 'isa plan view on a considerably further enlarged scale to illustrate details of .construction,scmprissdin the ne.

through a train of gearing which comprises the spur gear wheels and pinionto which the reference numeral -9 `,is applied drives the gear wheel 14 on a shaft 15 (which 1n Fig. 4 is shown as sectionally made so that one part may be in or out of clutch with the other when it may be desired to run the phonograph b v the turning of the handl crank l2 without causing the running action of the tilm in the picture machine), and the said shaft 15 has a plurality of different radially extended cranks 16,-here four being employed of the wrist pin type which are set at quarters. These cranks are severally connected to devices or means for the driving for its talking action of the phonographic machine B.

A partial description of the phonograplnc machine will be here given before describing the driving connection therefor.

r represents a horizontal stationary support-ing tube mounted in standards 22 and having a longitudinal slot 23 therein.

24 represents ay hollow cylinder having end heads and herein termed the drum for supporting the record shell 25.

C represents a runner frame which is i'ei'oluble about the supporting tube 20. and on which the record drum is mounted to be revolved as one with the runner frame and also to have its slow feedmovement longitudinally of the runner frame. The ruimer frame comprises end disks 27, 27, fitted to freely turn on the tube20 and the parallel lon'git'mliimltvY ruiming and .disk connecting rods 2S, 2S. '.lhe one end disk 27 has an affixed pinion 29 through which the frame (land record drum are revolved.

30 represents thc feed screw which is cxtended axially through the stationary tube 2O and is rotated independentlyY of the revo- Iuble runner frame C. The screw shaft 30 is engaged'by the pinch nut. 32 made in the -shape of a tongs as indicated in Fig. 5%, the jaws 33` thereof being threaded feriengagement with the feed screw. The handle members 34, 34,.:protrude through the aforementioned slot 23 in the support tube 2O and thespring holds the pinch nut closed. Such nut 32 is male as an appartenance of a rirrner block 36 which with such nut is slidable alon the slotway 23, without,v re-` volving, and y the engagement of the end wall of the drum 24 in the groove 37 1n the runner block 36. yThe rotating feed screw' causes the slow progressive movement of the drum and record which have, of course, additional thereto rotating means therefor.

On the end of the feed screw 30 outwardly beyond one of the standards 22 is a spur gear wheel 40 in mesh with which is a pinion 42 which latter is in turn meshed by a spur gear wheel 43 on. the horizontal shaft 44. 'This shaft 44 has four wrist pin cranks 45 set at. quarters thereon in exact correspondence to the wrist cranks 16 on the aforementioned shaft 15 provided as before described in conjunction with the picture machine.

Direct-ly above the sha-ft 15 and its wrist crank 14, near the ceiling, is a shaft or journaled member 150 having four wrist cranks 16 of exacticorrespondence as to number, dimension and arrangement with the4 cranks 16 and a duplication of this form of crank is provided directly above the cranks 45 adjacent the gearing at the end of the talking Inachine.'the four arms of these last mentioned'o erhead cranks being represented by 'the reference character 45. Wires or equivalent connections 485 four in number. vconnect: the wrist pins or crank members of the cranks 16 with those 16a.; the four cranks 16 are connected with the four cranks 45a by the horizontally extending four wires 49; and the arms of the-overhead cranks 45 are connected with the ones 45 b v the four vertical wires 50 so that the rotary motion imparted to the shaft 15 at thewpictur'e machine4 will be imparted to the shaft 44 at the phonographic machine to secure the rotation of the feed screw 30 for the longitudinal progression of the record; and the rotation of the shaft 44 is effective for securing the revoluble movement of the runner frame so that. the record drum has its turning movement well as its axial niotion. The shaft 44 being in train with and driving the feed screw gear 40 insures thc revol'uble movement of the runner frame C through means of the pinion which is in mesh with gear wheel 53, on a short counterz-:hat't 54 which carries a comparatively1 large gear that is in mesh with the pinion 29 which wasbcfoiie described as being affixed' arm and which angular part is made tubu lar or with a circular eye 62 at its elbow. The eye formed elboiv portion of the lar device (I. of), is mounted for both oscillatory'and bodily sliding movement on a supmaiali 3 port-ing rou Gt which is mounted on'the up.u rotative movements .to the COaIS 1139-59;

It is quite frequently desired to run the picture machine backward for various purposes, such as rewinding the film onto the spool fi `in which it had been unbound, 0r-

foislio.".fing a reversal of action, such, for instance, as a person falling),r or coming out of some inclosure where on the previous forward running he had been represented as ascending or entering the inclosure; but in such reverse running of the picture machine" while the cranks 16 are carried by the section 15". The section 15b is endwise movable relatively to the one 15a for a clutching and unclutching engagement therewith, one of the sections having a squared hole in its end and the other havingy a tenori on its end, for instance. The shaft section 15b has a member 120 relatively to which-the shaft is rotative but which member being engaged between pins or collars of the shaft section necessarily moves endwise as one therewith. The member 120 has a rod 123 parallel with the axis of the shaft and it carries a catch lever 124 pivoted to a suit-able part or equipment thereof and which engages in a notch 125 in the stationary tubular support 1.27 by which the shaft. sections are inclosed. rod is' guided through lsuitable lugs 1215 formed as radial extensions of the tubular support 127. By releasing the catch lever 124 and sliding the shattscction l5b out of clutch with the one 15, the picture machine may be reversely run without any propulsive efect -on the phonograplic machine; and, furthermore, it. becomes possible, as in some cases may be desired, to run the. phono,- graphic machine as a continuation of the act after thefilm may have been entirely run ofi',-and this,.as manifest, may be done by.

manually rotating the set of cranks 16,' when the shaft section 15b is out of clutch as may he done by means ol. the crank handle fixed on the extremityY ot the outer or rear one of the cranks indicated by the numeral 12.

The support. 'for the outer or far end of Th e the tubef2() on which the record drum is mounted is made in thc form ot a bar 1530, as

shown in Figi'. 12 having a ring-like or yoke foriiiine' middle portion 132,1() i-eceiveilarcin for its bearing the extremity of the .snp-

port tube 2l). This bar is by pivot 133 conf nected to the top of one post or upright 22 and it is secured in its closed relation to the other upright 22, oppositely related by the spring catch 134. When the yoke bar 13() is swung open it forms-no impediment to the lpicture machine in a backward direction.
